16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.
17. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked t o ensure that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.

L
Your electric tool is precision built and manufactured to satisfy the highest standards. F o r maximum
performance, long tool life, and your safety, follow these instructions carefully.
VOLTAGE WARNING : Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.1 be
sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified o n the nameplate of the tool. A power source
with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY t o the user - as
well as damage t o the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful t o the motor.
Precautions Before Use
<
.
A. Before plugging in the miter saw, use this checklist:
Check Item
Checkpoint
Is the saw blade installed correctly?
(2)
Is the saw blade tip contacting t h e turn base when the blade is fully lowered?
(3)
Does the safety cover operate smoothly when you raise and
lower t h e head with t h e operating handle?
(4)
Is t h e miter clamp grip tightened firmly?
(5)
B. Set t h e miter saw on a level bench, sturdy stand or table. If you intend t o use the tool
in just one spot, fasten it securely by means of bolts in the four mounting feet. Always
obtain a steady base for safe, sure cutting action.
C. These miter saws are equipped with a locking stopper which is used t o keep the head
in the lowered position. T o release from the hold-down position, lower the operation
handle slightly and turn t h e lever o n the locking stopper to the release position. To
lock t h e head in t h e hold-down position, lower the operation handle fully and turn the
lever o n t h e stopper to t h e hold position.
H O W TO USE YOUR M A K I T A M I T E R SAW
1. Switch Type and Operation
Your tool has either an ordinary trigger
switch (Fig. 1 ) or with a special lock-off
switch button (Fig. 2 ) .
A conventional switch starts the tool simply when you pull t h e trigger and stops it
when t h e trigger is released. There are three
steps in operating a lock-off switch:
1 . T o start t h e tool, first press in t h e lockoff button, then pull the trigger.
Fig. 1
2. To stop t h e tool, simply release t h e trigger. (The lock-off button pops out.)
3. When the tool is not in use, take off
the lock button. The tool cannot be
switched on without it.
Fig. 2

2. Installing Saw Blade
Press t h e shaft lock and use the socket
wrench provided to loosen t h e hex bolt
which serves to hold t h e saw blade in place.
Then remove t h e outer flange and install
the saw blade o n t h e arbor shaft inside t h e
safety cover.
Model 2401B is equipped with an addaptor
ring (16) for a 1" arbor hole. Use this ring
t o install a Makita blade. Without t h e ring,
there is a 5/8" arbor hole.
3. Adjusting Vertical Position of Blade
The miter saw is factory-adjusted with a
standard blade cutting depth for a 2 5 5 m m
(10") saw blade ( 3 5 5 m m (14") saw blade
for Model LS1410). Thus, IF YOU ARE
NOT USING A STANDARD SAW BLADE,
loosen t h e hex n u t o n the end of t h e gear
housing and use a minus escrewdriver to
turn t h e cutting depth adjustment bolt t o
the right. Adjust so that when the operating handle is in t h e fully lowered position
there will be a distance of about 1 2 2 m m
(4-13/16") (about 1 6 0 m m (6-5/16") for
Model LS1410 from t h e front face of t h e
guide fence (guide rule) to t h e point where
the front edge of t h e blade enters t h e kerf.
(See diagram a t right.) This will produce
the correct depth adjustment. Then tighten
the hex. nut.
4. Safety Cover (Prevents Contact with Blade)
The see-through safety cover (lower blade
guard) raises as t h e work is contacted and
cutting begins, and it returns t o its original
position when cutting is completed. Never
lock t h e guard at a fixed position. Always
use the guard in t h e freely telescoping condition for your personal safety. Any irregular operation of t h e safety guard should be
corrected promptly. Never use t h e miter
saw with a faulty guard.
5 . Miter Angle Setting
The saw blade should be in t h e fully raised
position before you change t h e miter angle.
Release the miter clamp grip by turning
one-half a turn to t h e left (counterclock.
wise), then push t h e grip in t h e direction of
the desired miter angle. Set the pointer t o
the desired graduation on the calibrated
scale, then tighten the grip to t h e right
(clockwise).
6. When Cutting 2 by 4 (1-5/8"x 3-1/2"):
For Model 2401 B
Cuts of 45 degrees can be done as usual as
long as t h e material is not positioned vertically. To c u t vertically positioned material,
insert a piece of stock in between as shown
right.

*If the see-through guard becomes dirty or sawdust adheres in such a way that the blade
and/or work may not be easily visible, clean it off carefully with a damp cloth.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL before you perform any cleaning.

This Makita miter Saw was carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory, but rough handling during shipment may have affected the alignment. If your miter saw is not aligned
properly, perform the following.
*When Slightly Misaligned (Adjusting Pointer)
Loosen the miter clamp grip and place a square or triangular rule against the side of the
guide fence and saw blade so as t o square the blade t o the fence. When this is done and
you notice that the pointer on the miter angle indicator is not at zero on the miter scale,
gently tighten the miter clamp grip and then loosen the t w o pan head screws holding t h e
miter angle indicator plate. Adjust so that the pointer will be at zero; then retighten the
two screws to fasten t h e plate in place.
*When Seriously Misaligned (Adjusting Fence)
After zeroing the miter pointer (as shown above) and carefully tightening the miter clamp
grip, loosen t h e f o u r hex bolts holding the guide fence and reposition the fence so that
it will be square in relation to the saw blade. This can be done by placing a square or
triangular rule against the saw blade and adjusting the fence so that the side contacting
the work is absolutely flush with the square or rule. Then, carefully replace the hex
bolts and fasten t h e fence securely. Failure t o fasten securely will cduse,the guide fence
to move when a workpiece is pressed up against it by powerful vise action, and thus
accuracy will be compromised.

8. Tips o n Cutting
This tool is equipped with an electric safety brake which stops the saw blade within
three seconds from t h e moment you release the switch in t h e operating handle. This
safety feature can also be used to advantage, for example, in cutting certain materials like
light aluminum o r plastics where special shapes are required, o r in edge cuts in wood
where only a little stock is c u t off. In this case, t h e saw blade is retracted after t h e blade
stops, and t h e cut end will n o t be contacted by a spinning blade as in a regular saw. Thus,
a cleaner - as well as safer - c u t is p'ossible.
"Always keep the table t o p clear of chips, small pieces and so o n in order to maintain a
safe, clean surface.
9. Removing Saw Blade
Depressed shaft lock as shown in 0 to lock
shaft/blade. Next, as seen in 0 , use the
socket wrench provided to loosen (clockwise) the hex bolt holding t h e blade in
place. The remove t h e bolt and outer
flange. The blade can thus be taken out
from t h e safety cover.

down to about 6 mm (1/4") o r sparking
will occur.
Both brushes should be
changed a t the same time.

10. Factory-Adjusted Lock Nut
The hex lock nut holding together t h e gear
housing and arm has been factory-adjusted
t o assure smooth arm action u p and down
and t o guarantee precise cutting. Do not
temper with it.
Should looseness develop at t h e housing
and arm connection, perform t h e following
adjustment. Work t h e arm vertically while
tightening t h e hex lock nut: the best posiFig. 1 1
tion to fasten t h e nut is just before t h e
motor body weight is obvious.
I f t h e nut is t o o loose, t h e cutting accuracy will be affected; if it is too tight, it will be
hard to work t h e arm up and down easily. Note that this is a self locking nut; it is a
special type that does not remove in t h e usual manner, and so it should not be overtightened or replaced with other types.

11. Saw Blade for Aluminum Applications (For Model 2401B only)
Apply oil to t h e miter saw blade (No. 255-4A) for aluminum cutting, since without it
chips will adhere and t h e cutting edges will deteriorate. Apply oil near the arbor at the
center of t h e blade; centrifugal force will distribute it o u t to the tips. No oil is required
with carbide-tipped blades.
Fig. 1
13. Attaching Optional Dust Bag
Although sawdust ejection can be directed
at will by means of t h e elbow, the use of
the dust bag provided makes collection
complete and cutting operations.
T o attach the dust bag, f i t it onto t h e
elbow and turn t o t h e left to lock in place;
it releases to t h e right.
When the bag is about half full, just unzip the fastener below and empty it, slapping it
lightly so as .to remove particles adhering to t h e insides which might hamper collection.
